An ABCNEWS investigation of the failure of
intelligence on Sept. 11 has found a trail of missed signals, missed
opportunities, and warnings ignored.

Cetron said he warned the Pentagon that two events earlier that
year  the crash-landing of a small airplane at the White House by
an apparently unstable man, and French authorities' storming of a
hijacked airliner that Algerian terrorists had planned to fly into
the Eiffel Tower  made an airborne terrorist attack on the United
States a very real possibility. "We knew that was going happen and
we were scared," he told ABCNEWS.

But Cetron said Pentagon officials told him to delete the warning
from the report. "I said, 'It's unclassified, everything is
available,' and they said, 'We don't want it released because you
can't handle a crisis before it becomes a crisis, and no one is
going to believe it anyhow,' " Cetron said. Even with the warnings
of an airborne attack deleted, the report was not released to the
public.
